System Operation 

WARNING 

Before operating the Model 350B Temperature Controller, please 
read and understand all of Section 1.  

4.1 

Front Panel  

The front panel of the Model 350B Temperature Controller is arranged for easy 
operation.  Six distinct areas, each with a specific set of related functions, and a control 
knob are located on the front panel, as shown in Figure 11 below. 

 

Figure 11

 

Front Panel Layout (350B shown) 

4.1.1 

AC Power Switch 

When the AC power is turned on the unit starts up with the OUTPUT off, display in 
SETPOINT mode, and mode of operation in either R/T or ITE mode depending upon the 
mode selected when the unit was last turned OFF. 

 

4.1.2 

Analog Output 

A BNC connector can be used to monitor the temperature sensor value. 
The transfer function of the output is dependent on the sensor type selected. 
The thermistor current selection values are either 10µA or 100µA and result in either 100 
kΩ/V or 10 kΩ/V respectively.
